Norgrove set to take over from Patrick Manly

Zurich has confirmed that Ken Norgrove is the new chief executive for its general insurance business in Ireland.

The Zurich chief executive role has been empty since the start of the year, when Patrick Manly left to take over from Annette Court as Zurich chief executive of Europe.

Norgrove joins Zurich from Travelers Insurance, where he was vice president responsible for international strategic development. He was previously in charge of SME at RSA.

Manley said: "Ken brings extensive domestic and overseas insurance experience to his new role with Zurich.

"We are confident that his expertise will be a great addition to the Irish operation and he will play a key role in growing and developing our business offering in the years ahead."
